2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.
*Reducing Scope 3 emissions is particularly challenging for a small business because they lie outside direct control, sitting within the wider supply chain and customer behaviour. Unlike Scope 1 and 2, which relate to energy use and operations, Scope 3 depends on the practices of suppliers, logistics partners, distributors, and even how customers use and dispose of products. For a small business, leverage over large suppliers is limited, data is often incomplete or inconsistent, and resources to conduct detailed carbon accounting are scarce. Moreover, switching to more sustainable partners can be costly or impractical without scale. This makes progress slower and more complex, even when the will to act is strong.
